If you’re looking for a cheesecake recipe that isn’t too complicated and will cause every recipient of this rich dessert to swoon with delight, the Strawberry-Topped Cheesecake from Bon Appetit is stunning in every respect. Somehow, I always make this cake in February/March when the strawberries aren’t in season, but hit some kind of 2-week period of tasting really, really good before they go back to tasting like cardboard again. (I miss West Coast produce…it just doesn’t taste the same once it’s shipped all the way out here…)
